Chapter 177 Meeting My Husband by Chance

When Dong Qing returned to Yan Yutang, Chen Shuyao had been lying in bed for quite some time. When she heard the maid's words, she seemed to hum softly, but it was unclear whether she heard it or not.

She slept well that night. When she woke up the next day, she heard the maid on night watch say that the prince had come back in the early morning, saw her asleep, and went to Mingzhe Hall again.

After hearing this, Chen Shuyao nodded and didn't say anything more.

Hui Xiang said, "Miss, why don't you send someone to Mingzhe Hall to ask? The prince is really something. He hasn't come back all night. What on earth was he busy with outside? He didn't even bother to explain to the master."

Dong Qing also looked at Chen Shuyao, and seeing her indifferent expression, he swallowed the words on his lips.

Qiao Wei squinted at Hui Xiang and said, "You! You seem to be meddling in so many things. How can you possibly be involved in the Master's affairs?"

Although Qiaowei also favored her own daughter in her heart and had similar ideas to Huixiang, it was not appropriate to say these words out loud.

Chen Shuyao watched their actions in secret and smiled. "What do you need him to tell you? You guys, just do your part."

She took her maid to Songhe Hall early in the morning, and at least she was not late this time.

After chatting for a while, Chen Shuyao asked Wang for leave: "Mother! There are a few dowry shops in my dowry. Since the weather is good today, I want to go and take a look later."

Wang naturally agreed. Everyone was busy with the wedding before, and even she had not left the house for a while.

"It's okay, go ahead! Be careful when you go out and remember to come back early." Wang said with a smile.

Zhou Shuhe also wanted to leave the house, but when she looked at her bulging belly, she had to give up.

Chen Shuyao took her maid back to Yan Yu Hall, quickly changed her clothes and went to the second gate.

She first went to check on her own pen and ink shop, and the manager was still the one who followed her from Huzhou.

Since she started to draw flower paper herself, it has indeed boosted the consumption of other goods inside. Now this pen and ink shop is no longer the one that can barely maintain a balance between income and expenditure.

Manager Yang was very excited to see her. Although Chen Shuyao seldom came, he had learned some things about the boss through others during this period.

From returning to the Shen family to marrying the famous leader of the imperial guards.

No one dares to imagine all these things.

Manager Yang is a down-to-earth man. Although his abilities are limited, he is down-to-earth and hardworking. Even though he knew that his employer was just an underage girl, he did not have any bad thoughts.

When he suddenly heard that his master had such an experience, he was really happy for the Xu siblings for a while.

The manager handed the account book of the shop to Chen Shuyao and said, "This is the account of the past few months. Although the surplus is not much, it is much better than before. And..." He turned around and called out, and a young man came out.

Chen Shuyao then heard the steward say unnaturally, "His name is Zhao Qian. Miss, take a look and see if he suits you. If not, we'll replace him."

Chen Shuyao smiled and said, "You decide. You don't need to ask me about these trivial matters."

But she still glanced at the young man.

Zhao Qian is of medium height, not very strong, and even looks a little pale.

When Zhao Qian saw her, he simply called her "Dongjia".

Chen Shuyao nodded, accepting it.

Manager Yang also felt relieved.

This man had been helping someone carry things at the dock and was beaten until he was covered in blood. When he saw this, he suddenly felt kind and took him back, intending to make him his assistant.

However, this child is well-behaved and doesn't talk much, unlike the previous guys who were all good-mouthed. That's why Manager Yang brought him to show his boss and felt relieved.

Chen Shuyao left the pen and ink shop and went to the clothing shop and jewelry shop that Ruan had given her.

They didn't have lunch when they left the house. Seeing that it was almost noon, Chen Shuyao took the initiative to take the people around her to the restaurant for lunch.

Qiao Wei was a little embarrassed, and when she got off the car, she deliberately covered her master's head with a veil.

When they entered the restaurant, they saw that they were all women. The waiter took a look and led them to the private room at the back. Huixiang was happy because this was her first time in a restaurant.

Zi Su and Dong Qing stood responsibly on both sides of Shen Shuyao, fearing that she would be offended.

She felt much better when she arrived at the private room. Seeing the four maids standing aside, Shen Shuyao asked them to sit together.

During the meal, the maids chatted and laughed, and Chen Shuyao occasionally made a comment or two. The meal was quite comfortable and satisfying.

In the private room next door, Xiao Mo was stunned when he heard the news from Wuying. "You said the Crown Prince's wife is next door?"

Yun Ling raised her head from the desk, her eyes dim for a moment.

Xiao Mo ordered Wuying, "Send her to the house first." Then he walked out.

Wuying, who was behind him, had no choice but to obey. "Miss Yunling! Then I'll take you there."

…

Chen Shuyao and her four maids had a good meal, and then came out of the private room, where she saw the familiar man - her husband, who had disappeared all night yesterday.

Xiao Mo looked at her seriously. The girl was wearing a lilac dress today and a lavender silk flower on her head. At this moment, her eyes were wide open and her pearly teeth were biting her red lips, leaving a faint mark on them.

He frowned and recalled Wuying's words: "The prince's wife is here."

But the person in front of him had a ruddy complexion, and seeing his surprised expression, it was obvious that he was not as Wuying described.

Xiao Mo smiled and stood still.

Shen Shuyao walked up to him and smiled awkwardly, "What a coincidence!"

Seeing that he was just watching without saying anything, she smiled and waved her hand: "Are you entertaining guests here? Then... then I'll go first..."

Before she could finish her words, Xiao Mo beside her grabbed her hands. In just a moment, the young lady with a fake smile on her face rolled into the man's arms.

Seeing the prince picking up the princess and walking out the door, several maids hurried to follow.

Chen Shuyao struggled a few times but couldn't break free, so she simply lay on his shoulder and pretended to be dead.

When Yun Ling was sent out by Wuying, she happened to see this scene.

Seeing her standing still, Wuying couldn't help but call out, "Girl!"

"Let's go!" she said.

After Xiao Mo carried her to the car, he went to search for his wife's lips in his arms. He kissed her randomly and asked, "Did you miss me?"

Chen Shuyao pursed her lips and didn't answer, but he didn't seem to need her to answer.

He pulled her completely into his arms, sniffing and kissing her lips bit by bit as if he were tasting food, from her eyebrows to her neck, as if he could never kiss her enough.

Chen Shuyao was a little annoyed by her, "Let's... talk about it when we get back! We're still in the car!"

The man slowly calmed down his breathing and looked at her seriously again, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Shen Shuyao avoided his gaze: "What are you looking at?"

"No, let's talk about it when we get back!" he said, and then just held her arm and leaned against it.

Outside, the rumbling sound of a carriage could be heard. Shen Shuyao thought about the woman she had just seen while lying on his shoulder, but she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.

The person next to her didn't speak for a long time. When she turned her head again, she saw that the other person had his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.

She didn't move, her mind was in a mess and no one knew what she was thinking about.
